Well, that part of the authentication is entirely up to the browser.
The server, and therefore mod_auth_pam, only sees the password (in its
entirety) once it is sent by the browser.  So, to the server it
doesn't make a difference wether you type fast or not, it doesn't have
anything to do with processing user input.

Unless I'm mistaken, you should report a bug to the browser
developers.
